Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Chelsea, Saka starts

Arsenal face off against London rivals Chelsea in the Premier League this evening.
The Gunners are currently on 20 points for the campaign and they can temporarily go top of the standings with a victory.
Predicted Line-up:
David Raya has been the undisputed starter between the sticks since the September international break. The Spaniard is assured of his place in goal for the Gunners.
In front of him, it should be the same backline from the win over Manchester City. Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko are set to retain their places.
In midfield, Jorginho could make way for Thomas Partey in the number six role. The Ghanaian should provide the added defensive resolve alongside Declan Rice in the centre of the park against Chelsea.
Further forward, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli should feature on the wings with Martin Odegaard in his customary number 10 role. Saka has been deemed doubtful, but we fancy him to make the XI today.
Gabriel Jesus gets our nod over Eddie Nketiah up front. The Brazilian is better with his hold-up play and dribbling ability and would present a better scoring threat than the Gunners graduate at the Bridge.
Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Raya; White, Saliba, Magalhaes, Zinchenko; Partey, Rice; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus.
